commodities. Legislation which encour-
ages American industry within the specific
power granted by Congress to levy
duties on foreign productions is
wise and patriotic and such legislation
must surely reach this result when it gives

facilities for its employment, and enables
il TO overcome foreign competition and

nuity Of the American mechanic.
IL appears likely that the Democratic
State convention will meet to morrow at
noon without definite settlement of the
vexed question whether Mr.. Randall will
be able to control its deliberations and
adopt as a party declaration on
tariff the resolutions adopted by
the Chicago National Convention in
1884, or whether Congressman Scott and
Mr.. Singerly, of the Philadelphia Record,
will he able to commit the party to the
more pronounced utterance of President
Cleveland in favor Of reform of the tariff
The point OF vantage which the oppos-
ing elements sought to command was con.
troll Of the Committee on Resolutions,
which it was understood was to have the
key TO the situation in the convention.
There is to be one member of this COM

Fight on the Tariff Plank-A Platform to
be Introduced.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, August 30-The
following platform of the young Demo
cratic battalion of Philadelphia, will be
presented by Mr.. K. Vaux, upon the as
sembling of the Democratic convention to-
morrow: There is but one political party
in the United States which is
the ira iitional representative OF Dem
ocratic principles. There cannot
be two sets of principles or
many-sided policy existing in this par
ty. Those who resist the aflirmance of
the cardinal principles Of the Democracy
are not Democrats and are not worthy OF
their acknowledgment and support. These
traditional principles are known. Jeffer-
sou asserted them, and their confirmation
by Madison, jackson, Polk and Cleveland
have Oanoniged them as essential to the in
tegrity of the Democratic party. A tax
for the support of the Gov
ernment is absolutely necessary.
This tax is called the tariff
All the money necessary for the support
aud maintenance of the government, the
army and navy, the civil list and the pay
ment of the public debt and pensions must
be supplied by q tariff tax ct least obnox-
ious to the public sentiment against direct
taxation. A tax to protect the manufactu-
rers only and force the laborers to strike"
for their share Of this protection is not
within the purpose of the tariff tax, and is
an abuse of the duty to make laws for the
greatest good to the greatest number. The
immense surplus now in the Federal treas
ury and daily increasing from taxation By
Federal law is positive evidence of abuse OF
such legislation.
We endorse the opinion of President
Cleveland in his message to Congress, II
recommend that the increasing and un-
necessary surplus Of national revenue an
nually accumulated be released to the
people by an amendment to our revenue
laws which shall cheaper the price
of the necessaries of living and
give freer entrance to such
imported material as by American labor

PHILADELPHIA, August 3l.-This morn
ing the announcement was made that Rob
ert Hare Powell & Co. and Robert Hare
Powell Sons Il CO., the great coal mining
firm of this city, had failed, and the street
was necessarily startled. The failure was
admitted by John c. Bradley, the man.
ager and partner in both firms. He stated
that the failure was the re-
suit of the suspension of Charles f.
PennOck, of Coatesville, the extensive
iron plate merchant, whose paper bore the
endorsement of both the firms. Robt. Hare
Powell & Co., and the Junior one of Rob
ert Hare Powell, Sons 4 Co.. The liabil-
tiles he placed at 81 500, 600, which is as
sumed to he the aggregate amount for
which they became the endOrSers of Pen
nock's notes that were protested yester.
day; while the assets, consisting of vast
tracts of valuable coal lands and appulte-
nances, are fixed at s., 100000.
The Guarantee Trust Company has been
made assignee. 1t is generally believed
that the assets of the two firms are Tar
above their liabilities, and that tie coprse
adopted of assigning the estate was the
wisest to meet all legitimate claims and
prevent sacrifices.

Remove all Persons Not Connected With
the Reservations OH icially.
WASHINGTON, ID. c, August 30.-The
following telegram from General Terry,
date Chicago 9th, was received at the
War department to-day: Referring TO Ma
ior Randletts despatch OF the 9th, for
warded by me this morning, / suggest
that under sections 2l47, 2l49 and 2l5O,
revised statutes Indian Agent Byrnes
should he instructed to remove from his res
ervation all persons who may intrude upon
it and the military commander at Fort Du-
chesne be instructed to give him all the
assistance he may require. It's hardly to
be supposed that the civil and military Off
GERS of Colorado will forget that
the state rights do not run beyond
the boundaries Of the state; but in
excitement of the situation this may be
overlooked, and Major Randlett does not
seem to feel at all sure that the pursuit of
Indians will not continue. l think, as a
precaution, the orders which | suggest
should be given"
Gen. McFeely, Acting Secretary of War,
submitted this telegram to the President
at the Cabinet meeting to-day, and the
situation was carefully considered, result
ing in telegraph instructions being sent
this afternoon by the President, through
the Interior Department, to Governor Ad-
ans of Colorado, TO contiue the actions of
the civil authorities strictly within the
limits of the statutes, 70 as to prevent the
Sheriff's posse Cr the militia from crossing
the reservation border. Should such pre-
cipitate act on be taken, it is feared that a
disastrous outbreak of the reservation In
dians would follow. Everything possible
will be done to avoid such q result.

NEWS AND COMMENT,
A WORD TO COUNCIL

Inst at present there seems to be new
impetus given to the location of manuiae-
turipg industries in this city. Notably is
this the case in the several china and pot
tery companies Now it has often occurred
that new industries have had serioas OBJ
stacles in getting the privilege from COun-
Gil necessary to make their shipping faci-
ties convenient enough to reduce this
important item OF expense to minimum,
and thus enable them to compete with
establishments more iavorably located.
Council may have thought it had good
reason for interpOsing its author
ity in sOme cases. but. frequent
Iv they were insufficient and
resulted in either defeating the enterprise
or caused endless trouble and expense.
We believe, however, the present Council
is imbued with q generous spirit, and will
grant all the privileges that could be
reasonably asked. Often the privilege Of
a switch is asked of Council, and refused.
A switch which will carry the raw and
manufactured article to and from the
premises is highly essential to the success
full operation of many plants, and ought
not to be refused, if possible. The great
manufacturing city Of Philadelphia has a
street, Market, where almost every COM
mercial house on it has switch leading
from the centre of the street right into the
building. Ifa city like that finds it profit
able to make such concessions to its mer-
chants, why not Wheeling?

A CONTRIBUTION

On the Matter of Personal History-some
More Information Given.
To TIE Editor Of The Regtaer.
SIR: Hart's personal history is incomplete.
Shortly after attaining his majority he
went to Baltimore, became the editor OF
an intensely Democratic paper, and was
so exceedingly abusive Of General Grant
and other prominent Republican officials
that he ruined the paper. Even Baltimore
rebels thought him too strong dose and
spit him out.
What day of rejoicing June 10, 1850,
must have been when the church bell
rang forth the glad tidings that Birdie had
arrived from "No.Man's-Ia -Iand''-wbat
songs Of praise assembled from Thousands Of
worshipers in the various churches, that
"to them child was born" q start for a
man was given. And when he had laid
the foundation ror his future greatness, at
fifteen years OF age, how those staid old
people must have thanked God that Brook
Ign was the birthplace Of Birdie.
When they saw him in few gears after
this becoming bold, blatant rebel, and
recolleeted the ringing Of the church bells
and the rejoicing Of the entire city at the
coming Of the prodigy from "No- Mans
Land" might it not be that some Of them
were led to ask il this Birding had been
born at the commencement Of the Chris
tian era would not j. l. have lost his job
and those initials c. B. indicated for all
time TO come who took il from him?
What life Birdie has led. With cheek
of brass, a lying tongue and entire sbsenes
OF self-respect, always rushing into the
front of public affairs he never fails to show
what an ass be IL, and when cornered in
one lie be fops into another, until his
party friends blush for him.

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
A Body of Politicians and Shysters Formed
for Political Purposes.

for Political Purposes.
Atlanta Constitution.
The scenes at Wheeling, West Virginia,
last Friday, when the Grand Army of the
Republic refused to march under portrait
of the President, were disgraceful in the
extreme. They show, beyond all question,
thst in certain parts Of the country, the
Grand Army bas become a Republican,
association. II contains men who never
fought in the war, and who, consequently
know no difference between partisanship
and patriotism. The spectacle that these
Grand Army Posts made of themselves was
disgusting and discouraging to those who,
on both sides, have been laboring to heal
the wounds of the war.
We may be very sure of this, that the
Grand Army posts, which thus attempted
to insult the President of the Republic,
were not composed of men who fought in
the war. hut of small politicians who have
Joined the organization for political pur-
poses.
These politicians and shysters had a pa
triotie example set them by the union Vet
Grams. who march now as they marched
during the war, where the politicians OF
the Grand Army would not dare to pre-
cede or 10 follow them.
This much may be said, that the mem
bers OF the Grand Army, whether they are
real soldiers or political shysters, IN at
tempting to insult the President, have only
succeeded in disgracing themselves.
Whatever their political opinions may
be, they cannot attempt to put an insult
ON the President of the Republic without
exciting the contempt Of that conservative
class of citizens who love their country
better than they do their party.
